And, Thus, The New York Times Maintains Its Journalistic Credibility

An article on Monday about Jack Robison and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children’s TV show “My Little Pony” that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover.

Actually, I don’t think they were nearly hard enough on themselves. And Ada (my daughter) agrees. Confusing Twilight Sparkle with Fluttershy is unforgivable.

FTR, the reboot has a very manageable number of characters. Eight main ponies — Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Princess Celestia (I’m working from memory, btw….). Then there’s the dragon Spike and a few recurring ponies.

Due to an error in transcription, Danielle Brisebois was misrepresented in US. Discussing the demands of the acting profession, Brisebois was misquoted as saying, “You have to know how to run, you have to be in shape, you have to know how to do sex acts.” She actually said, “You have to know how to do circus acts.” US regrets the error.

Just to elaborate, Nick, I first tried to make my own salsa in Jan 1995 with my gfriend at the tyme; she loved cilantro but being a nice middle class boy from south Regina, I had never tried it before. Salsa was ready and I was so excited, then I got a taste of that cilantro and I was like, who put the dirty dish cloth in here…it was terrible. Anyway, my computer is acting up so I must go.
